Burial of the Dead

Liturgy Planning

 

O God of grace and glory, we remember our brothers and sisters who have passed through death into new life. We thank you for giving them to us, their family and friends, to know and to love as a companion on our earthly pilgrimage. In your boundless compassion, console us who mourn. Give us faith to see in death the gate of eternal life, so that in quiet confidence we may continue our course on earth, until, by your call, we are reunited with those who have gone before; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

- from Book of Common Prayer, p. 493
